Noted. Opening last bottle soon.

I stuck to the reds and let my wife and the pretty girls giggle with the blush and whites while making jokes about the names as the night went on.

Johnnie Walker Green and Glenlevit 21 closed the night down for us gentlemen.

Missed the Keller reds when they were up, but got the Chard magnum.
How was the Serafino, haven't popped any of mine yet.
Made due with a 2010 Kirkland Meritage I was curious about, Grahams Six Grape and then into some 16 year Lagavulin, love that smokey pete that just goes on-and-on-and-on...

I just opened my last bottle of the Boss Monster -- somewhat harsh, but I'm hoping it will mellow with some time in the glass.

I agree that it has lost a lot and is approaching 'Game Over', but I can still taste a remnant of what I once thought was a pretty tasty drinker.

Hats off to WW for what was a tasty QPR when it was in its prime. I recall a surprising warmth of vanilla when the wine was still young and fresh (sadly gone now). Even if it does not mellow, there is enough for me to enjoy now and reflect fondly on the first couple of bottles.

If you have neglected a bottle in your stash, make haste...

[Edit: While it is not coming through on the tongue, I just caught a whiff of that vanilla...ahhh. Not sure why or if I should like vanilla in my wine, but it was a nice complement to the overall finish.]

Just opened the '06 Pedroncelli Four Grapes Vintage Port. Upon opening the bottle and sniffing the cork, I was like "melt"! This has a most yummy nose: MAJOR black cherries and and caramel. On the tongue, black cherries and plum. It is oh, so good!

Some Cambozola on hot bread, Nice with the SH Zin.
Following with some homemade creme brulee and Grahams port,
now into the Glenmorangie Nectar D'or on recommendation.
Wonderful sweet nose, and so smooth.
Four FedEx deliveries picked up.
Is it Friday or Saturday?
Does it really matter?

5/28/2012 rated 90 points: This is a very interesting and layered Pinot for RRV. Not what I'm used to tasting out of that area. It's got almost a Cab Franc quality to it with the mix of herbaciousness and eucalyptus. I'm getting more black cherry than tart cherry out of this one as well
